New member with a question...

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I've read many posts and many articles regarding HBO Therapy for CP

and autism and other neurological disorders, but I was wondering if

HBOT would work for viral encephalitis. My 9 month old son was

diagnosed with viral encephalitis 5 weeks ago and I'm doing research

on different types of alternative therapy to see which would work best

for him. Currently he's receiving scalp acupuncture 3 times a week,

so far we see some improvements from the treatment but not sure if

HBOT would be something for him. Can you give me some advice please?

Thank you.

Hello,

Encephalitis is a common cause of neurological injury. As such, HBOT should

be considered as therapy, and in fact the earlier the better. This is supported

both by theory (ischemic penumbra/idling neurons) and the clinical results

that are seen in many patients. Your son should be treated with HBOT as soon as

possible.

If you have the ability to place your son in an HBOT program I would

strongly recommend it..as soon as possible. We find that although HBOT

has been proven to exhibit positive results several months and even

years following the initial insult, the sooner the patient has exposure

to HBOT the sooner the patient has the opportunity to repair the damage

that was done.

Simply put.. " If you can, you should " !

Hi all, my name is Kay and I am a new member. I had a TKR 4 years ago. I had a bone removed from the base of my left thumb 3 years ago. Both of these were because of OA.

I now need wrist replacements...my left one much worse than the right. Has anyone else in the group had a wrist replacement? I would love to talk with someone who has been through it.

Thanks, Kay

Hi Kay,

I just wanted to welcome you to this group. I belong to this group for a year now and I never heard of anyone having their wrist replace that seems liked it would be a hard operation . I had my right Hip five years ago and right Knee replace four years ago and those are hard operations my Hip didn't turn out that great my knee was better but I still have a hard time walking I have to use a cane I need my left knee replace but I won't do it because of the way my hip turn out .Well you take care and I wish you the best of luck and hope someone can help you with your wrist replacement.
